This man, making Christmas calls from the White House, believes the world is a sphere. And he has even flown around it! So has our beautiful FLOTUS, who happens to be his wife!
Truth and common sense must be valued by us, as individuals, in order to lastingly disempower the authoritarian fake news media. This includes the perniciously smarmy science media, which never answers for its errors and lies. I believe that the media has been responsible not only for leftist pathologies like scientism, medical fascism, and radical gender ideology, but also for reactionary movements like modern flat Earth, rejection of all medicine, and Biblical geological literalism.
Just as Wheatie’s Stormwatch Monday Open Thread was created as a place for people to openly express their thoughts and opinions, so, too, is this Thank God Thursday Open Thread, where honest but civil discussion of all topics is encouraged. This thread is also to be known as Theistic Evolution Thursdays, due to the author’s expected “pontification” about his scientific, religious, and political opinions. You are welcome to pontificate back! Free speech matters!
Please label all AI-generated content as being such, unless it is patently obvious (e.g., humorous AI images). It is important that we as individuals not begin to pretend that socially derived artificial intelligence is actually our own, as this form of stealthy social information averaging and feedback would be one more pretense and deception between people, in service of stupid Marxist socialism, and of those who wish to substitute their communally protected lies for actual truth.
The source of alleged truth matters, not for the truth itself, but for validation.
And yes, it’s THURSDAY…again.
And that’s it. We’re done stealing from Wheatie.
OK – maybe her rules need to be posted.
- No food fights.
- No running with scissors.
- If you bring snacks, bring enough for everyone.
Other rules may be derivable from these, and that conjecture is left for discussion.
If there is nothing beyond the “W” below, then this is a placeholder. For health reasons, I can’t always post a timely opinion before each Thursday, but I will try. Otherwise, you have this placeholder post, where YOU provide the content. Enjoy!

Time for more dumping of tabs!
(1) The Hafnium Bomb and/or the Nuclear Battery
A nice explanation of nuclear isomerism and why some people like DERPA are interested in it.
(2) Chess Game Reported Like College Football
You may have never seen anything like this. That’s OK – stick with it – it’s fun! The “sports reporter” is a hoot! I had no idea these people existed.
(3) Gravity, Inertia, and the Gravitational Constant
TL;DR – The gravitational constant pops out of the theory and I love it, but I still have to be skeptical that it might be an artifact.
Did we actually miss the solution to “what is gravity?” and “what is inertia?” when they were solved in the 1950s? Just listen to the guy – the equations are too small to read, but the explanations start to gel. At the very least, the opening / final cartoon is readily understood when you get to the end!
(4) Enjoy Some Relaxing Math & Fiddle Music
This is supposedly an exam question for Haaaaaahvaaaaaahd. Or you can just listen to the calming folk violin.
(5) Two Solutions to the Three-Body Problem
First, the no-solution solution, presented by that annoyingly perky British chick who is not Veritasium or the German one.
Now, Valerie Curren’s solution using string theory.
Well, that’s enough for today! Enjoy the show!
